Old and new Seiko 5 are not the same movement
Many classic Seiko 5 watches use 7S-series automatics, while many current Seiko 5 Sports watches use 4R36. That difference changes features, troubleshooting and parts decisions.
Affordable mechanical watches are worth maintaining
A Seiko 5 can be a daily watch, sentimental object or favorite mechanical piece. If the watch matters to you, resale value is not the only reason to repair it.
Common repairs
Movement service, stopped or erratic running, rate adjustment after diagnosis, day/date problems, crystals, crowns/stems, hands and case-related work.
Send the reference if you can
The caseback and movement caliber help us determine what is inside the watch before it reaches the bench. A clear caseback photo is especially helpful.
